Rupert Murdoch is one of the most important businessmen in the audiovisual and journalistic sector in history. Half a year ago, after more than six decades as executive director and main shareholder of the Fox News company, which includes media outlets such as The Sun, The Times, Fox and Sky, Murdoch passed the baton to his son Laclan.
After living an exciting life full of different romantic relationships, trips and projects that have given him endless joys and some misfortunes, the 92-year-old businessman has announced that he will marry for the fifth time. On this occasion, the woman chosen is his current girlfriend, a retired biologist named Elena Zhukova who is 67 years old.
This same Friday, a spokesperson for the Murdorch family confirmed the news to Australian state television ABC after the engagement was reported a few hours ago by the American newspaper New York Times.
According to the United States media, the tycoon met Zhukova last summer and has been in a romantic relationship with her for several months. Furthermore, the newspaper added that the protagonists have decided to celebrate their love with a beautiful wedding on a prestigious estate with vineyards that the businessman owns in California.
Zhukova is a woman of Russian origin, but she has been living in the United States for several decades, so she considers herself practically American. Regarding her personal and professional life, the woman has nothing to do with the media sector that Murdoch comes from, since she has always lived her life in a simple way and worked for years in centers such as the University of California or the University of Los Angeles as a molecular biologist specialized in the study of diabetes.
We are facing the magnate’s fifth wedding and his sixth wedding engagement. It should be noted that he never went down the aisle with dental hygienist Ann Lesley Smith, with whom he surprisingly broke up just a few weeks after announcing his intention to marry.
At the moment the official date on which the couple will become ‘husband and wife’ is unknown, which is why many of their followers are wondering if it is something imminent and simple taking into account the advanced age of the businessman. or if, on the contrary, they will celebrate the link throughout next year.
